It is a great time to be in the space of A12 bypassing. Between competitive markets and free A12 tools for pretty much the first time ever, it has never been better to be in this space. With all of the currently available tools, there is ONE major problem that should be easy to resolve.

THEY’RE SO BUGGY!

Most, if not all, are prone to bugs that range from minor inconveniences to bugs that literally keep you from using the apps in question. If they were all free tools I’d understand, but now that a lot of them are paid (and for that matter, getting expensive) I shouldn’t be subjected to exploit-breaking bugs.

Having used every currently available A12 tool (except for OtixA12, since I haven’t used that one) reviewed by me for bugginess. This list will be ordered from least to most buggy.

iRemove Tools (Mac)

iRemove Tools is by far the cleanest and smoothest experience I’ve gotten to use. While they are affiliated with the shady people at LegitUnlocks, you’ve got to admit they know how to make a tool. While I have encountered bugs in the past, they are few and far in-between. Their proxy works well, too.

F3arRa1n A12+ Activator (Windows, Mac, and Linux)

Note: I’ve only used the Windows version. Mac and Linux versions may differ in bugginess.

F3arRa1n, while still having plenty of bugs, manages to be an informing tool for users and works quite well. While it doesn’t have a proxy, it’s one of the most stable I’ve used at this time.

iAldaz A12 (macOS)

iAldaz is just okay. It’s not the best, it’s not the worst. It works fine, and if you happen to find a good deal it’s a no-brainer.

iRemoval Pro (Windows)

I almost considered this for the last spot. iRemoval Pro is impossible to launch due to its app restrictions (it’ll not launch if it detects that certain apps are installed, much less open), the device checking process rarely works (and the activation process, for that matter), and the UI just doesn’t look good. Not to mention it’s theorized that iRemoval Pro steals IPs (as per r/SetupA12). iRemoval Pro is not a good experience. It makes the device it bypasses slow and buggy and the computer it runs on.

SMD Activator (macOS)

Now, I don’t know if my opinions on this are outdated or not, but I never even got to successfully bypass a device with this tool. SMD errors out so many times and without giving the user any reason that it literally kept me from bypassing the device. I’m unsure as to this was because of the servers being under load or not, but suffice it to say it was not a good experience.

Conclusion

Even though i value some tools more than others, no tool I’ve used is free without bugs. A lot of these tools feel rushed (for very obvious reasons, these exploits are more fleeting than your uncle’s hairline). Developers, keep working on your tools. Put the experience over the exploit. The experience will elevate the exploit, but I can’t use the exploit if there is no experience.
